The Teachers' Beehive has been designed to provide assistance to teachers of any discipline to integrate ICT into their curriculum. Using technology in teaching should not be an arduous task. It must be easy to use and easy for any teacher to create eLearning resources quickly.


I will confess to all. I am a teacher from the old school. "Chalk, Talk, Entertain, Teach and they will Learn". I was taught that way and it worked for me. Hey I became a Teacher! However, we all have to realise that times have changed. Education has changed and the teaching styles our students need today have to also change. There is nothing wrong with the old styles but we need to all use new ways of teaching to keep our students interested. Why? Because they are getting bored.


One effective way I have found that keeps my students interested in learning is through podcasting and vodcasting my lessons. Why podcast or vodcast? Some students may be absent from school and miss vital information. Other students may just forget what happened in the previous lesson.


One way I solved this problem was to record the lesson via digital means. My students then download the recorded files either to their MP3/MP4 players and can listen in on the missed lesson at their convenience. What a great idea.


Remember: A great teacher knows their students and tries to give all students an education which is relevant, accessible and empowering.
